Presents a series of Batman-manga stories, originally produced in Japan in the late 1960s, following Batman and Robin as they battle aliens, mutated dinosaurs, and other villains in a distinctively Japanese style, in a volume with photographs of the world's largest collection of vintage Japanese Batman toys and an original Batman adventure, only in the hardcover edition. Simultaneous.
Review:
"[In his Batman manga,] Kuwata, an action virtuoso, employed hypnotic geometrical motifs within his panels, incorporating realistic Batman and Robin figures into an exaggeratedly cartoonish style."
New Yorker, 11/03/2008
Review:"[S]tunning: a weird blend of genius suspense and gonzo weirdness, as villains turn into dinosaurs, commit strange crimes, rise from the dead, and rampage through a mangified Gotham City that has the streamlined wonderfulness of space-age Japanese pop culture."
Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing, 10/29/2008

Bat-Manga! (Limited Hardcover Edition): The Secret History of Batman in Japan (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780375425455) Kidd, Chip Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Pantheon Books, United States, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 280 x 225 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The two hottest genres in comics gleefully collide head-on, as the most beloved American superhero gets the coolest Japanese manga makeover ever. In 1966, during the height of the first Batman craze, a weekly Japanese manga anthology for boys, "Shonen King," licensed the rights to commission its own Batman and Robin stories. A year later, the stories stopped. They were never collected in Japan, and never translated into English. Now, in this gorgeously produced book, hundreds of pages of Batman-manga comics more than four decades old are translated for the first time, appearing alongside stunning photographs of the world's most comprehensive collection of vintage Japanese Batman toys. This is The Dynamic Duo as you've never seen them: with a distinctly Japanese, atomic-age twist as they battle aliens, mutated dinosaurs, and villains who won't stay dead. And as a bonus: Jiro Kuwata, the manga master who originally wrote and drew this material, has given an exclusive interview for our book. The deluxe, expanded, and limited hardcover edition has a distinctly different cover, full-color printed endpapers, and an amazing extra adventure written by Jiro Kuwata (not included in the paperback), about a band of rogue alien robot art thieves at large in Gotham City. Guess who gets called in to save the day. More than just a dazzling novelty, "Bat-Manga!" is an invaluable, long-lost chapter in the history of one of the most beloved and timeless figures in comics.
